FRANCIS BACON.

History of the Man Who, According &C.
Some, Wrote Shakespeare's Works.
Francis Bacon was born in 1861. He
was thus Shakespeare's senior by three
years. His father was ord-Keeper of
the Great Seal, an eminent scholar.
patron of art and literature. The
mothers of great men have often been
remarked upon, and Bacon's was en-
inently worthy of her distinguished
son; an estimable lady, pious. shrewd,
affectionate and, in the best sense of
that age, accomplished; learned among
learned women, capable authoress.
yet motherly among mothers. Bacon
was the son of old age; precocious, but
not ephemerally so, for his genius went
on expanding through all his life. His
imagination, differing from that of
many other men, deepened, heightened.
widened with his years. He ha6ample
access in his fathers home to books.
A student of Cambridge at the age of
twelve, he Was at sixteen wiser than
his teachers. In 1876 he entered Gray's
Inn on his legal career. Next year he
was sent TO Paris as one of the suite of
Sir Amias Paulet, the English Ambassa-
dor. He travelled on the continent with
the French court, and became familiar
with French, Italian and Spanish. On
his return to England he bore dispatch
TO the Queen from the Ambassador, i'm
which he is referred TO in the most fat
tering terms. In his, twenty-fourth
year he entered Parliament, and soon
nI ..,lF T.
The author of many beneficial meas
ures, he was at all times the chosen
representative of the Commons i'm their
conflicts with the Peers and the Crown.
His wisdom, patriotism and elOquence
were conspicuous. Careful of the in
terests Of the people, he was at the
same time loyal in his allegiance to the
Crown. His powers of persuasion were
uniformly employed in furthering and
reconciling the welfare of all concerned.
johnson bears tribute to his eloauence.
''There happened" he says, Gin my
time one noble speaker, who was full
of gravity in his speaking. His Ian
guage, where he could spare or pass by
a jest. was nObly censOrious. No man
ever spoke more neatly, more weight
", or suffered less emptiness. less idle
ness in what he uttered. No member
of his speech but consisted of his own
graces. His hearers could not cough
or look aside from him without loss.
He commanded when he spoke. and
had his judges angry or pleased at his
devotion. No man had their affections
more in his power. The fear of every
man who heard him was that he should
make an end. NinefeeRtk Ceniary.

1t is undoubtedly true that small
flocks. even IL full-blooded Merinos,
if kept on a tough sod, with bushes and
bitter browse, and clumps of trees for a

which will not scour a particle when

But with large fiocks, where the feed

the objection TO the ranging syss
tenn is that the sheep do not OF
their own accord regulate the mat

day they will rove all day, and on a
cold day not at all. IL the fodder is
thrown out TO them in an open field

will stand in the lee of the shed or of
the fence-if nothing better offers
and lose a great deal of time when
they would be eating If the feed were
close at hand, and in "a place not ex-
posed to the wind. The sheep is very
irresolute about breaking away from q
warm sheltered place and setting out
In search of feed. On an excessively
cold day the sheep can not be forced TO
take exercise, unless they are driven to
water or something of that sort, and
it is not worth while TO attempt il, es-
pecially if there has been q sudden
change from mild weather, for they
wall seldom drink the first day after
such change, even if water is offered

The summing up of the whole mat

been hauled ont and rieked. They
will rove up and down in this and pick

The Immigration Question.

Washington, May 1.-THE state de-
partment is continuing its search for
information through it's oonsuls con-
cerning immigration, with a view to lay
ing The subject before congress when it
convenes this winter and asking imme-
date action. An immense pile of reports
have been received from all parts of the
world. Officials at the department cay
the reports show That labor troubles,
depressing laws and general dissatisfac-
ton afford the object of the people for
leaving their native lands for this coun-
try. 1t is not believed that from the
character of the people coming here they
are desirable as Inhabitants, and consuls
in NEST instances recommend that the
inflow be stopped. as they state turtle,
that most of the countries yielding up
inhabitants to this country would be
glad il we would forbid immigration fol
q period OF say Eve years, when an effort
will be made to keep the population al
home. 1t is generally believed that o
bill viii be passed early in the coming
session to prohibit immigration from
nearly If not all countries.

Washington, May l5-Americans
can hardly understand that
intelligent Epghshmen who know
anything about the temper OF the
United States should ever expect that
fedgrase debt. Yet u bill was presented
to the last congress which had this end
IN view, and one OF the committee OF the
democratic house gave to Judge Fuller
tonthe counsel OF the British pundholders
of the confederate debt, q hearing upon
this bill and nov a private circular lssu-
ed by the British holders OF this debt to
their associates In the speculation has
been received iii this city IN which after
reference is made to the argument OF
Judge Fullerton the following occurs:
Your committee feels justified IL stat
ing that never since the close OF the OWL
war has the position of b~oudholders been
SO hopeful as to-day. Derislon and ridi-
cule have practically ceased. Public
opinion III the United States is now favor

important nature are low contemplated

they will result IN the committee obtain
